About The Leela Ashtamudi, a Raviz Hotel

The Leela Ashtamudi, a Raviz Hotel, is the Kollam lake resort still searched for as Raviz Ashtamudi or Raviz Kollam. It has 96 rooms on Ashtamudi Lake, a 7,953 sq ft convention centre for 1,000 theatre-style and two lawns on the water. WedMeGood lists plates from ₹1,800, or ₹30 lakh a day for the whole hotel with rooms, meals and venue.

It is not The Leela Kovalam. That is the clifftop resort at Kovalam in Thiruvananthapuram; this one is on the lake at Thevally in Kollam, with nalukettu-style buildings, red tiled roofs and verandahs, and a heritage block, the Raviz Palace, that dates from 1911. The hotel's capacity chart also gives a sadhya count for its rooms, which is the number a Kerala wedding lunch is planned on: 265 on banana leaf in the pre-function area, 118 in the Empire.

Panigrahana would plan it around the water. The mandap goes low on the Helipad or poolside lawn in the dry months, the sadhya is served under cover, and the convention centre is held as the rain plan and for any reception above 500. Taking the whole hotel also settles the guest list: all 96 rooms are on one site.

Designed, not just planned

How we would design a wedding at The Leela Ashtamudi, a Raviz Hotel

The resort's own look is white walls, red tiled roofs and long verandahs, so the decor should sit inside that palette: brass, jasmine, marigold, banana leaf and lamp light, nothing that fights the roofline. The convention centre is a plain rectangle with a 21 ft ceiling. It takes suspended florals and a full stage wall well. On the lawns the lake is the backdrop, which means the mandap stays low, faces the water and the water's edge is lit after dark for safety as much as for the photographs.

Which function goes where

HaldiThe poolside lawn in the morning, with the lake behind (250 theatre-style).
MehendiThe Empire (2,601 sq ft, 120 casual) or the pre-function area, both covered, with daylight for the artists.
SangeetThe Raviz Convention Centre with a stage and dance floor: 500 casual, 300 at a seated buffet.
Wedding ceremonyA lakeside mandap on the Helipad or poolside lawn from December to March, with the convention centre as the written rain plan; the sadhya in the pre-function area (265) or the Empire (118).
ReceptionThe Helipad lawn for up to 500 in clusters, or the convention centre for a covered reception.

Season and weather

December to March is the dry window for the lake lawns. The south-west monsoon sets in over Kerala around 1 June and runs to September (IMD), so the convention centre carries the plan in those months. Peak wedding dates go early; ask for yours a year out.

Arrivals, access and logistics

Trivandrum International Airport is about 90 minutes by road (The Leela) and Kollam railway station 4 km (Leela factsheet). The resort runs its own boat experiences, the Floating Fort, the Mahayana houseboat and speedboat rides (factsheet); if they are part of the programme, book them with times, not on the day.

What families usually ask about The Leela Ashtamudi, a Raviz Hotel

The Leela publishes sadhya counts for its rooms: 265 on banana leaf in the pre-function area and 118 in the Empire (celebrations page, checked 25 October 2026), so the wedding lunch sits under cover. A lakeside mandap goes on the poolside lawn (250 theatre-style) or the Helipad. For elders, two suites sit in the 1911 Raviz Palace, and catering is in-house, so the sadya comes from the hotel kitchen.

Asked and answered

The Leela Ashtamudi, a Raviz Hotel wedding questions

How much does a wedding at The Leela Ashtamudi (Raviz Kollam) cost?

Food for 300 guests across two functions at The Leela Ashtamudi comes to ₹10.8 lakh before taxes at the ₹1,800 plate WedMeGood lists for veg or non-veg menus (checked 26 September 2026). Its ₹30 lakh a day covers all 96 rooms, three meals and the venue, so a two-day residential wedding starts near ₹60 lakh plus taxes and decor.

What is the per plate rate at The Leela Ashtamudi?

₹1,800 a plate, taxes extra, is the listed starting price for vegetarian and non-vegetarian menus alike (WedMeGood, checked 26 September 2026). A sadhya, live counters, the buffet tier and the bar change the figure, so ask for the rate card menu by menu.

What are the Raviz Kollam wedding hall rates?

Neither the hotel nor WedMeGood publishes a separate rent for the convention centre or other halls (checked 27 September 2026). The listing prices by the plate, from ₹1,800, or by the day for the whole hotel, ₹30 lakh for all 96 rooms. The Raviz Convention Centre seats 300 at a buffet; ask each hall's minimum plate count in writing.

Does The Leela Ashtamudi have wedding packages?

One is published: ₹30 lakh a day for all 96 rooms, three meals and the venue on WedMeGood (checked 26 September 2026); the hotel's own site publishes no package price. Ask what the day rate counts as a meal, how many venue hours it covers and which taxes apply.

How many guests can The Leela Ashtamudi hold for a wedding?

Up to 1,200 guests theatre-style on the 16,600 sq ft Helipad lawn, or 500 in clusters, on The Leela's celebrations chart (checked 25 October 2026). The Raviz Convention Centre, 7,953 sq ft, takes 1,000 theatre-style, 300 at a seated buffet or 500 casual; for a sadhya, the pre-function area seats 265 and the Empire 118.

How many rooms does The Leela Ashtamudi have?

96 rooms and suites according to the Leela factsheet, including 30 Royal Premier Lake View rooms, two villas with plunge pools, two suites in the 1911 Raviz Palace, two traditional cottages and a houseboat. All 96 are included in the listing's ₹30 lakh-a-day destination price.

Are outside decorators allowed at The Leela Ashtamudi?

The WedMeGood listing records decorators from the hotel's panel (checked 26 September 2026). If you want your own design team, ask the hotel in writing how its drawings are built with the panel, and on what terms, before you sign the venue contract.

Is alcohol allowed at a wedding at The Leela Ashtamudi?

The hotel runs its own bar, per its WedMeGood listing (checked 26 September 2026). Nothing is published about bringing your own, so assume it is not allowed until the hotel confirms otherwise in writing, and check your dates against Kerala's dry days.

What time does the music have to stop at The Leela Ashtamudi?

Loudspeakers in the open stop at 10 pm under India's Noise Pollution Rules, 2000, which binds the Helipad and poolside lawns; the convention centre, a closed hall, can run later under the hotel's rules. The listing says an in-house DJ is available; confirm each space's cut-off in writing.

When is the best season for a wedding at The Leela Ashtamudi?

December to March, when the lake lawns are dry; the south-west monsoon sets in over Kerala around 1 June and runs to September (IMD), which makes uncovered evening functions a gamble, so the convention centre is the covered option. Ask for peak dates about a year ahead.

Is The Leela Ashtamudi the same as The Raviz Ashtamudi?

Yes: The Raviz Ashtamudi, also searched as Raviz Kollam, is the same lake resort at Thevally in Kollam, which opened on 19 August 2011 and now trades as The Leela Ashtamudi, a Raviz Hotel, owned by RP Group (Wikipedia, checked 25 October 2026). Its convention hall is the Raviz Convention Centre.

Is The Leela Ashtamudi the same as The Leela Kovalam?

No: The Leela Ashtamudi, a Raviz Hotel, is a lake resort at Thevally in Kollam (PIN 691601), while The Leela Kovalam, a Raviz Hotel, is a separate cliff-top resort on the sea at Kovalam in Thiruvananthapuram (The Leela, checked 25 October 2026).

How far is The Leela Ashtamudi from Trivandrum airport?

About 90 minutes by road from Thiruvananthapuram International Airport (The Leela, checked 25 October 2026), and 4 km from Kollam railway station on the Leela factsheet. Batch the airport pick-ups by flight time, and keep the rooms on site for the guests flying in.

It stands at Thevally Bridge on Ashtamudi Lake, Kollam 691601, with 96 rooms and the Raviz Palace, established in 1911. The Leela Kovalam is a separate Raviz resort on the cliffs at Kovalam.

Where can we see photos of The Leela Ashtamudi for a wedding?

The Leela Ashtamudi's property photographs are on the Raviz group's gallery page, and theleela.com offers a downloadable banquet capacity chart and a factsheet with the banquet floor plan. Our page carries a single listing photograph, and Panigrahana has not published a wedding of its own there. Ask the hotel for pictures of the Helipad lawn, the poolside lawn and the convention centre set for a wedding, and visit at the hour your ceremony would run.
